First, the "ATM Itf" part is redunant... ATM interfaces are only numbered
under linux-atm. They do not hav their own entity under ifconfig.

Marcell's current code by default names interfaces "nas0". There might
be a better naming structure ("atmbr0"?)

Do you mean that you're trying to run PPPoE over 1483-CLIP? That doesn't
make any sense since PPPoE needs an ethernet-like transport to funciton
and 1483-CLIP is not one. PPPoE-over-1483 always uses 1483-bridged.

The idea is that the 1483-bridged interfaces will be similar enough to
ethernets that PPPoE (and whatever protocols.. IPX, DECnet, ...) will
be none the wiser.
